Catch Of The Week: Backdoor Nearly Hits Linux

For the Los Alamos Daily Post
What is “open source software”? Basically it is software with a source code anyone can inspect, modify and enhance. Open source is a great way to make your code available to everyone, and a good way to enhance and improve the services it provides.
Linux is one of the most well-known kinds of open source software, used by about 42% of the world. There are many distributions, or “distros” of Linux, such as Red Hat, Debian, Kali, and many more.
In addition to the source code for the actual Linux OS, the source code for many utilities used by Linux Read More

We have lost many cherished members of our commUNITY, during the month of March. I can’t write about all of them, but I have to share a few that have greatly impacted my life.
I am grateful to Dave Fox, the Fox family and CB Fox. They hired my mother and gave her a great work family, allowed her to work in the candy and acquire things she could never buy o her own. What I didn’t learn until a long time after, was that Mr. Fox helped her to buy her dentures.
My dad died young at 53. My mother was on her own with no insurance, no life insurance and Read More

People who live in cities need to get away from each other and enjoy a bit of nature. The public park, a leafy green space in the urban landscape, has provided relief for centuries. We love our parks so much that proposing changes can become heated.
But not so heated that one individual, former Lt. Gov. Diane Denish, becomes the subject of a personal attack in a newspaper editorial that was so vicious I thought a response was in order. Diane is a colleague in this syndicate and a friend.
What happened is residents of an Albuquerque neighborhood Read More

On Oct. 29, 2018, a passenger airliner crashed into the sea less than 13 minutes after takeoff from Jakarta, Indonesia. A few months later, a second plane crashed over Ethiopia. In total, 346 people were killed.
Both planes were the brand new Boeing 737 Max. Investigation placed the responsibility squarely with Boeing, the manufacturer. As news reports explained, Boeing had made technical changes that were not thoroughly tested and, as a deliberate policy choice to save money, had hidden these changes from both regulators Read More
Fr. Glenn: Empty Tomb = Joyous Hearts!
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
Well, a very blessed Easter to all! While Christmas is prerequisite in salvation history as God has ordained that history, Easter itself is the holiest day of the Christian year in our remembrance of the Resurrection of Jesus from the dead. Because, as the apostles write, He is simply the “first-born” from the dead; His faithful disciples are called to follow, and through His resurrection comes our hope for eternal life with God.
Of course, leading up to this great joy was pain … the extreme bittersweetness of Jesus’ Passion and death—so bitter in the divine who loves us literally Read More

“Once upon a time” teaches pragmatism. A farmer and his highly able wife were once in the market for an accordion, a bunk bed, a plow, and a pet. The farm couple soon had ample choices to weigh, complete with details telling advantages and drawbacks of every choice. Time was, advantages and drawbacks held sway.
Folktales have a knack for highlighting facts that we overlook every day. Each political party now offers voters only one set of policies in a single package. Each party advertises that its bundle has nothing but benefits vs. an opposing bundle that Read More
